PEANUT BUTTER BALLS
Peanut butter and chocolate are a perfect pairing--and these sweet and salty peanut butter balls covered in bittersweet chocolate are sure to satisfy your craving. Make sure the balls are chilled and firm before rolling them in the chocolate. It will ensure that they do not fall apart and helps the chocolate set faster. If the chocolate thickens while you are dipping the balls, just pop it back in the microwave for 20 seconds and stir until smooth.

Steps:
- Beat the confectioners' sugar, peanut butter, 2 tablespoons of the butter, vanilla extract and salt in a large bowl with an electric mixer until combined and smooth. Roll the mixture into 24 equal-sized balls (about 1 teaspoon each) and place them on a small baking sheet or tray. Chill in the freezer until firm, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat the chocolate and the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a small microwave-safe bowl in 20 second intervals, stirring between each with a rubber spatula, until melted and smooth.
- Holding with two forks, dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate to evenly coat. Tap off excess chocolate. Place the balls back on the baking sheet. Chill in the refrigerator until the chocolate is firm and set, about 1 hour. Serve chilled. Refrigerate extra balls in an airtight container.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, cream the butter and peanut butter with a mixer.
- Once it's blended well, slowly add the powdered sugar. Usually, after the second cup, I'll check it every few times to make sure the mixture isn't too dry.
- Once you've added all the sugar, it should be a nice soft consistency, not sticky and easy to roll but not dry to where it crumbles. If you put all the sugar in and it's still to sticky to roll, try putting in more a little at a time until it gets to a good rolling consistency.
- Roll dough into balls. The size depends on how big or little you would like them.
- Lay the balls on the wax paper in a row and then put in the freezer while you melt the chocolate.
- To a medium size pot, add about 2-3 inches of water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, lower to a simmer and place a metal or glass bowl on top, making sure the bottom doesn't touch the water.
- Add chocolate to the metal/glass bowl. Add wax and mix until it and the chocolate are both melted and a smooth consistancy.
- Once the chocolate is melted, take out the peanut butter balls and set them beside your pot of chocolate. Drop in one or two of the balls into the chocolate and then scoop them out with a fork or spoon. Set them on another cookie sheet or pan lined with wax paper.
- Once your finished, set them back in the freezer for about 5-10 minutes or until hard. They're ready to be served or stored in a decorative tin.

PEANUT BUTTER BALLS
Steps:

Transfer to the refrigerator until hardened, about 30 minutes. Dip the peanut butter balls into the melted chocolate and set inside mini paper cupcake forms. Let the chocolate set before serving.
- In the bowl of a food processor, grind the peanuts until smooth. With the motor of the food processor running, add peanut oil if necessary, and puree until the peanuts are the consistency of peanut butter.

- Melt chocolate morsels and shortening in small saucepan, over low heat, stirring constantly. Spoon 1 teaspoon melted chocolate over each peanut butter ball. Refrigerate until firm. Store in airtight container in refrigerator.
GRANOLA PEANUT BUTTER BALLS
I have a chef friend, Nancy Russman in Louisville Kentucky, who spends a lot of her time teaching kids to cook and eat healthier snacks. When she first met me and my son there at a Julia Child birthday party I was cooking for, she made a big impression on him, much bigger than Julia! Probably because she's very short, and closer to his size than Julia. She taught him the cheer of "Go Cats!" in support of the Louisville Wildcats. We also had a nice tour of the Louisville Slugger Baseball Bat Factory, a visit to a bourbon distillery for another Julia party and a visit to my favorite goat cheese maker, Judy Schad, in nearby Greenville Indiana. This is one of Nancy's kid-friendly recipes that the kids can help make.

PEANUT BUTTER BALLS
Every year around Easter and Christmas while I was growing up I can remember my (ex) stepmother's mom making these "cookies", and everyone used to fight over them. About a year ago I got to craving them again, but she has since passed away. There are a lot of peanut butter ball recipes out there, but none quite like this one. This one uses quick cooking oats (like I remember) instead of just peanut butter or rice krispies, and I, myself, like the oatmeal taste better than the others. This recipe was put together using several different recipes, but I have adjusted the ingredient amounts and directions to my liking. Dipping the balls in chocolate and paraffin wax is up to you, but I think it adds to the flavor. I have sometimes gotten over a hundred balls, depending on how big you roll them, and rolling out the balls is what makes the prep time so long.

Steps:
- In a medium sized bowl combine powdered sugar and oats; mix well.
- In a small saucepan melt together the butter and peanut butter until smooth and well incorporated.
- Add the peanut butter "sauce" to bowl of oatmeal and sugar. Mix together well using a spoon at first, then after "sauce" has cooled slightly use your hands to better mix all ingredients together.
- Roll into balls about an inch in diameter (or whatever size you wish). Lay formed balls on wax paper or foil until all dough has been used.
- After forming balls, melt paraffin wax in a double boiler, then add chocolate chips. Melt and mix together well.
- Place about a handful of peanut butter balls in chocolate wax, being sure to stir in order to coat balls completely. Remove coated balls with a spoon and return to wax paper or foil to cool and dry.
- Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight bowl in the fridge.

PEANUT BUTTER DATE BALLS
These things are great! The dates add natural sweetener - no sugar added! They come from the Biggest Loser Cookbook and are probably the best recipe in there! Note: These taste great with natural peanut butter, which avoids having sugar added because of the sugar added to regular peanut butter.

PEANUT BUTTER BALLS
I always make these tasty little treats as part of my Christmas candy, but they are good all year long. If you don't want to go to all the trouble of shaping into balls, just press the peanut butter mixture into the bottom of a 8 X 9 Pyrex dish and cover with chocolate. Let cool and cut into squares. Great either way.

Steps:
- Melt butter, add in peanut butter, powdered sugar and cracker crumbs.
- Mix well.
- Shape into walnut size balls.
- Chill.
- If you are using paraffin, melt it in a double boiler first.
- Melt in chocolate chips and stir until smooth.
- With a tooth pick, tongs or long wooden skewer, dip balls into chocolate.
- Place on wax paper to cool.
- Note: It is optional to melt in 1/2 piece of paraffin with the chocolate. I don't do this and mine always turn out fine. The paraffin makes them shine and the chocolate will harden faster and not melt in your hands.

Steps:
- Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with aluminum foil, set aside.
- Combine the softened cream cheese, 3 cups powdered sugar, peanut butter, vanilla, and salt in the large bowl of an electric mixer.
- Mix the candy on medium speed for several minutes until the mixture is well-combined and homogenous.
- If the dough appears to be too sticky, add the extra powdered sugar and mix until it is somewhat stiff but still pliable and not dry.
- Using a teaspoon or a candy scoop, form the candy into small balls (about 1inch diameter or less) and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Place the candy in the freezer or refrigerator to chill until set, about 20 minutes in the freezer or 1 hour in the refrigerator.
- Once you are ready to dip the balls, melt or temper the chocolate according to your preference.
- Make sure to melt the chocolate in short intervals in the microwave or over a double burner, so that it does not overheat.
- Dip the peanut butter balls into the melted chocolate using dipping tools or two forks.
- Return the dipped balls to the baking sheet, and while the chocolate is still wet, top each ball with a peanut half.
- Repeat with remaining candy.
- Place the dipped candies in the refrigerator to set the chocolate. Store the balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
